I love this book! Great look at friendship and adventure for the little set. Nicely illustrated and wonderfully expressive characters (not small feat for a sock and a mitten). Good story line that is more fun with every page. Nicely thought out early lessons about diversity and acceptance. Would highly recommend it!

I LOVE Smitten! Smitten is the cutest book that I have come across in along time! This book is sure to become a must have classic children's story. The storyline of a sock and mitten becoming best friends is timeless and the illustrations are adorable. I have read this book to children several times and they love it! After a vote of children and adults-the absolute favorite part of the book is when the sock knits mitten back together! Thank You David Gordon for giving us a new treasured classic!
